SAFETY SIGNS

Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment.

Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible.

However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a

more careful approach to handling equipment.

You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following safety precautions in this section.

To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you follow them.

In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with

safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in place.

If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.

Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this equipment.

Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.

Review the instructions with all users annually. This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar

with its operation. The operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this

equipment’s operations. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual

and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.

To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS).

Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery.

If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question DON’T TRY IT!

Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modiﬁcation may impair the function and/or safety

and could aect the life of the equipment.

In addition to the design and conﬁguration of this implement, including Safety Equipment, hazard control and

accident prevention are dependent on the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel

involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and

Operations Instructions in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor and Mower Manuals.

EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES

BE-FMxRDG

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our eorts to provide

safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator.

In addition to the design and conﬁguration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent

upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport,

maintenance and storage of equipment.

It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the manual

and to follow them. Accidents CAN be avoided.

Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual and the manual for your

tractor before assembling or operating your mower, to acquaint yourself with the machines.

It is the rotary mower owner’s responsibility if this machine is used by any person other than yourself,

to make certain that the operator, prior to operating:

• Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.

• Is instructed in safe and proper use.

Know the controls and how to stop tractor, engine and mower quickly in an emergency. Read this manual

and the one provided with your tractor.

Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A person who has not read

and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualiﬁed to operate the machine. An untrained

operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.

Do not allow children to operate this machine.

SAFETY TRAINING

BE-FMxRDG

Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Tractor

Operator’s Manual and each Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and mower.

Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes and gloves are recommended

during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, repairing, removal or moving the implement.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught

in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!

Tractors with or without Mowers attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent or partial hearing loss.

We recommend that your wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s position

exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause sever hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to

the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.

NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios and other such sources close to the ear) is

cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

Operate the mower only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS).

Always wear your seatbelt on tractors equipped with a ROPS. Serious injury or even death could result from

falling o the tractor - particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS

or the

tractor.

Clear area to be cut of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

Operate only in daylight or good artiﬁcial light.

Ensure mower is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.

Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.

PREPARATION

BE-FMxRDG

The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical means

or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular

attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not

understand, ask your supervisor or your dealer to explain it to you.

Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least several

hundred feet away from an operating rotary mower. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.

When this machine is operated in populated areas or in other areas where thrown objects could injure persons

or property, standard equipment safety chain shielding (which is designed to reduce the possibility of thrown

objects) must be installed. Operation must be stopped when anyone comes within 100 yards (300 feet).

The majority of accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of bystanders by objects thrown by the

rotating blades and being knocked o the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by the mower.

Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to someone who has not read the

owner’s manual and is not familiar with a rotary mower.

Check the tractor master shield over the PTO shaft. Make sure it is in good condition and fastened securely

to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or missing.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Mower operating power is supplied from tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for PTO engagement and

disengagement instructions. Always operate the tractor PTO in the 540 RPM speed selection.

DO NOT OVER SPEED! Know how to stop tractor and mower quickly in case of an emergency.

When engaging PTO, the engine RPM should always be low. Once engaged and ready to start cutting, raise PTO

speed to approx. 540 RPM and maintain throughout cutting operation.

Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut o the tractor engine, remove ignition key, lower implement to the

ground and allow cutter blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor.

Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.

The use of ﬂashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use.

Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.

When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20mph at night or during the day,

use ﬂashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identiﬁcation emblem.

Always be sure the implement is in the proper position for transport.

Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering control.

Plan your route to avoid heavy trac.

Do not drink and drive!

Watch for trac when operating near or crossing roadways.

Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and

when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners. Turn curves or go up or down

hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is

on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces and loose gravel.

Never allow riders on either tractor or mower.
